Currently, various radio frequency (RF) technologies are used to transfer medical data in healthcare applications. The electromagnetic interference caused by RF can critically affect the performance of medical devices. The main goal of this article, thus, is to provide reliable and low-latency fifth-generation (5G) electronic health (eHealth) solutions for monitoring patients at home, hospitals, ambulances, intensive care units, and outdoors. This monitoring is based on optical camera communication (OCC). In our proposal, the OCC system is used to receive the monitored data from wearable sensors/patches. OCC systems are connected to 5G access networks or wired networks to be linked with the core network. The proposed system is able to provide fast and secure connectivity for simultaneous monitoring of multiple patients. The monitored information is forwarded to hospitals, medical servers, doctors, cloud, and mobile systems for remote monitoring purposes. In this study, we provide a novel technical solution for monitoring patients remotely. A robot system with OCC is also proposed to monitor the health data of multiple patients in hospital. We provide several eHealth solution scenarios for better understanding of the proposed eHealth architecture.

基于光学相机通信的新型5G eHealth架构：概述，前景和应用

当前，各种射频（RF）技术用于在医疗保健应用程序中传输医疗数据。RF引起的电磁干扰会严重影响医疗设备的性能。因此，本文的主要目标是提供可靠和低延迟的第五代（5G）电子医疗（eHealth）解决方案，以监视家庭，医院，救护车，重症监护室和室外的患者。此监视基于光学相机通信（OCC）。在我们的建议中，OCC系统用于从可穿戴传感器/补丁接收监视数据。OCC系统连接到5G接入网络或有线网络以与核心网络链接。所提出的系统能够提供快速且安全的连接性，以便同时监视多个患者。监视的信息被转发到医院，医疗服务器，医生，云和移动系统，以进行远程监视。在这项研究中，我们提供了一种用于远程监控患者的新颖技术解决方案。还提出了带有OCC的机器人系统来监视医院中多个患者的健康数据。我们提供了几种eHealth解决方案方案，以更好地理解建议的eHealth体系结构。
